Nothing Exceptional About Bullying Tactics

The New Jersey Law Journal just published an account of a case that they deemed newsworthy since apparently it is not all that common for a plaintiff to get their attorney fees paid:

U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael Hammer in Newark found that the case, Renna v. County of Union, qualified as “exceptional” under the fee-shifting provisions of the Lanham Act and that Union County should pay Renna’s lawyers more than $40,000 in fees and costs.

Not only is the Cranford cable access channel not airing the Union County Citizens’ Forum program but they got so spooked by the county’s bullying that you don’t expect them to run announcements of story time at the library without disclaimers.

If Union County set out to quash free speech and maintain an ignorant electorate it could not have orchestrated a more effective outcome and for only $40,000 that nobody directly involved in the harassment would have to pick up.

No resolution on the agenda but several Roselle residents came out tonight against the Mind & Body Complex. By order of appearance or, as you will see in the second video, disappearance: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
